I was afraid my basement was to warm and the garage was too cold, but I might have a perfect spot at the bottom of the steps to the basement since the steps are inside the attached garage. It would probably make a good root cellar, since we never use that door. I've been leaving mine in pots under a light in the basement.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-4483372169109183042009-05-08T17:56:00.000-07:002009-05-08T17:56:00.000-07:00I love geraniums!

My mother had beautiful geraniums and begonias and she kept them in the basement..but our farmhouse basement was not habitable. It had stone walls, dirt floor, and flooded relatively frequently. My plant saving habits declined rapidly after working in the green industry.

I usually haul everything I can into my basement (pot and all) but this is a great tip (to shake off and hang upside down). It wouldn't take up much space.

I never did too well with geraniums but found out I tend to overwater my flowers in pots and that's why I guess. I did, however, have the tiniest little geranium I've ever seen and kept it in my greenhouse every year and it would come back. But . . . I forgot to take it in this year - I think it's all gone.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-27559426457147388592009-05-06T12:15:00.000-07:002009-05-06T12:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for the geranium tips!Thanks for the geranium tips!Victoria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014235737941054206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-73633607101021810842009-05-06T12:00:00.001-07:002009-05-06T12:00:00.001-07:00Really cool!
